48M489 - Walter Surfox Replacement Ground Lead Assembly 54-B-052

Optimize Your Surfox Performance with Genuine Grounding Accessories

The Walter Surface Technologies Ground Clamp with Cable (54-B-052) is a critical component for the operation of Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning systems. In the electrochemical cleaning process, the completion of the electrical circuit is paramount; the current must flow from the machine, through the wand and electrolyte, into the workpiece, and back to the unit via the ground. A compromised or high-resistance ground connection can lead to inconsistent cleaning results, slower processing times, and even potential micro-arcing that could damage the stainless steel surface.

Designed to meet the specific electrical parameters of the Surfox series (including Surfox 104, 204, 205, 304, 305, and Mini), this cable assembly features high-quality copper stranding for maximum conductivity and minimal heat generation. The heavy-duty insulation jacket is formulated to resist the harsh environment of metal fabrication shops, offering protection against cuts, abrasion, and incidental contact with acidic cleaning electrolytes.

The clamp itself is engineered with a strong spring mechanism and wide contact jaws to bite through minor surface contaminants and establish a solid electrical connection on various workpiece geometries, from sheet metal to tubular structures. By ensuring a low-impedance return path for the current, this ground lead facilitates the efficient removal of heat tint and the restoration of the passive chromium oxide layer on stainless steel welds.

Whether replacing a damaged cable or keeping a spare on hand to prevent downtime, the Walter 54-B-052 is the OEM solution for maintaining the integrity and safety of your electrochemical cleaning operations.
